The blog posts in this series offer an interdisciplinary view of current AI developments from a technical and humanities perspective. They are the result of a recurring exchange and collaboration with Thomas Probst, Emeritus Professor of Law and Technology (UNIFR), and SATW member Roger Abächerli, Lecturer in Medical Technology (HSLU). With these monthly contributions, we aim to provide a factually neutral analysis of the key issues that arise in connection with the use of AI systems in various areas of application. Our aim is to explain individual aspects of the topic of AI in an understandable and technically sound manner, without going into too much technical detail.

A sober look at the myth of AI: the impact of artificial intelligence on humans

How does artificial intelligence affect humans? Is AI just the natural next step in the evolution of technology? Or are we losing control of technology and heralding the downfall of humanity? The blog series ‘A sober look at the AI myth’ explains individual aspects and questions of current AI developments in a technically well-founded yet understandable way. One focus is on an interdisciplinary view of the topic - otherwise it is easy to lose sight of the essentials. The blog series is realised in collaboration with the two authors Roger Abächerli, SATW member and lecturer in medical technology at ETH Zurich, and Thomas Probst, Professor Emeritus of Law and Technology at the University of Fribourg. In this podcast, we generally discuss current developments and the impact of artificial intelligence on humans.
